Oh well, time to try Italy or Austria for a change !

I have been skiing for many years and thoroughly loved it but my husband who is younger than me wanted a go at snowboarding. At the time I was 57 years old and thought it a bit daft to be learning something that looked pretty dangerous but gave it a go anyway. It was the most difficult thing I have ever tried but I perservered and after many very painful falls I started to enjoy it once I got the hang of it. Now when we go on our holidays I actually find skiing rather boring and end up boarding most of the holidays as it is more challenging and more fun. I am a 62 year old woman now and probably don't have many years left as a boarder, but I will always be pleased that I gave it a go and somewhat mastered it.
